A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RANCHO
CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA, CERTIFYING THAT THE FINAL
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT PREPARED FOR GENERAL PLAN
AMENDMENT 83-01B AND FOR THE ETIWANDA SPECIFIC PLAN IS
COMPLETE AND ADEQUATE
WHEREAS, an Environmental Impact Report was prepared to address the
potential environmental effects of the Etiwanda Specific Plan and associated
General Plan Amendment 83-01B; and
WHEREAS, the draft EIR has undergone ~he required public review
period; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has recommended to the City Council
that the Environmental Impact Report be certified as adequate.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of
Rancho Cucamonga does hereby certify the final Environmental Impact Report as
adequate, based on the following findings:
1. The final Environmental Impact Report has been
prepared in accordance with the California
Environmental Quality Act, and State and local EIR
guidelines.
2. The final Environmental Impact Report contains
appropriate measures to mitigate potential
environmental impacts, and adequately addresses all
reasonable environmental concerns generated by the
project.
FURTHER, LET IT BE RESOLVED, that the following statement of
overriding considerations is also adopted:
"Future development proposals submitted under the
Etiwanda Specific Plan and associated General Plan
Amendment 83-01B have the potential for creating some
significant environmental effects which cannot be fully
mitigated. These effects, identified in the final EIR,
are the unavoidable result of development taking place in
a largely undeveloped community.
However, the degree of these impacts is being mitigated
to the fullest extent feasible through the measures
incorporated into the EIR and the draft Specific Plan.
The Etiwanda Specific Plan itself is a measure to
mitigate potential adverse impacts of development on the
existing community which would otherwise occur without a
planned and comprehensive approach. The draft Specific
Plan contains provisions tailored to the community of
Etiwanda and is meant to replace existing City-wide
zoning regulations that could cause damage to Etiwanda's
unique qualities and community traits.
Consequently, the adoption of the Etiwanda Specific Plan
and General Plan Amendment 83-01B will result in
potential environmental effects that are substantially
less significant in scope and extent than those effects
which would otherwise occur under General Plan and zoning
regulations."
